Abstract
The algebraic relations between open and closed path-ordered phases and Wilson loop variables in gauge theories are discussed. It is shown that the generalized Mandelstam constraints of order constitute sufficient algebraic conditions on Wilson loop variables to allow reconstruction of a corresponding gauge potential.
